Speaking of explosive safety devices, you should check out an AAD (automatic activation device) used in skydiving. A small computer tracks your altitude against your freefall speed and if you are traveling a certain speed beneath a certain altitude a small explosive device fires a cutter that cuts a line that releases your reserve parachute.

Have you guys ever thought about filming a welding arc? It's essentially an arc of electricity that has bits of metal traveling along with it. I've only ever seen illustrations and animations of it, but I don't believe anyone has ever managed to capture a welding arc that shows the blobs of metal in them or exactly what it's doing to the base metal in slow motion. Would be really educational, especially for those who are already working in the field.

It completely went unnoticed but at 5:54 you can see the LED blink a few times as the electricity finds pathways through the debris before everything becomes too separated and the LED goes out for good. Fascinating!

One thing that might be cool is DLP projectors that use colour wheels to create a full colour image from just a single colour laser, by passing the laser through a series of spinning wheel that filter or convert the light. They also often display onto something called a DMD, which is a tiny chip full of extremely tiny mirrors for every pixel that physically flip dozens of times for every frame, but that is probably extremely hard to film.
@kurt0kasem

But the dmd would be so cool. Maybe film it with a macro lens.
@saml7610
Жыл бұрын
Would be very cool to see in motion, but the feature size on the DMD is so small that you won't see any detail with a regular high speed camera. Last time I looked at a MEMS device that had a similar feature size to a DMD, I needed a scanning electron microscope to see anything in detail. Luckily, I had access to one. However, to my knowledge, there is no such thing as an SEM that can produce more than 2 frames per second, and the resolution is very poor at those speeds. Typically, an SEM takes 5 or so seconds to produce a single frame. A macro lens simply would not do the job, I don't think any visible light imaging device could do it, save for maybe some multi million dollar microscope in a lab somewhere.

The promotional material says that "The fire is detected at the origin and the fire is automatically extinguished. The power is permanently cut off to prevent re-ignition[...]" The tubes seem to have specific current limits (up to 16A), but nowhere does it say what happens if you exceed it or if you can use it as a regular fuse. Personally, I'm not sure if i want my over-current protection to release noxious gas when triggered, so having it in series with a regular fuse as a thermal fuse is probably the idea here.
